Abstract Title: Integrating Computation and Experiment
Abstract: During this workshop, an initial overview of the AAPT guidelines for computational physics and for the undergraduate physics laboratory curriculum will focus attention on valuable skills physics students should develop in computation and experiment, and on the range of tools available to facilitate student acquisition of these skills.  Participants will be introduced to different experiments, spanning a range of cost and complexity, that have a significant computational component.  Participants will have time to work through some of the computational tasks required for the experiments, including modeling, visualization, and comparison of model predictions to measurements.
